I know you want the £100 but do you have what it takes………?

Firstly, thanks to all you guys that sent in a request!! That’s enough ideas to last the next four years, as ever you really are the best, thanks!! So by now I am sure you just want me to get on with telling you what the competition is……….

Ok, ok, here it is!!

We all know about the Baby Ruth bar in the Goonies and theTwinkieused in Ghostbusters…but can you top that? Have you ever been watching a tv show, a movie or an advert and noticed a product that you have bought from us? Or have you ever fancied a product then checked the site to see if we can fulfil your desires? Then this just maybe the competition for you!!

To enter, all you have to do is reply to this post adding a link to a YouTube video, blog post or similar that shows or details the scene you have in mind.

To win, well I will decide what my favourite is and to help you along, follow these three rules!!

1. It must be a product we sell.

2. The scene in question must not contain any swearing, nudity or violence.

3. The more random the better.

This means that IF there were Lucky Charms in Star Wars then the chances are I would have seen them. But if you know of a scene that contains a Butterfinger bar in some terrible film that no one else saw…well, then out of the two, the Butterfinger scene would win!!

So that’s it…we want the most obscure mentions or sightings of products we sell that you’ve seen on TV or at the movies. Again, just post the link or some evidence of it here in the comments. That’s it!

Good luck guys and gals, can’t wait to see what you come up with!!

PS. We manually approve each and every comment, so don’t worry if yours doesn’t show up right away, we’ve got it, we just need to read it!

The most obvious one i could think of was the quite blatant product placement of “Twinkies” in the movie “Zombieland”.
But something even more obscure, while watching the (terrible) “Monster Squad” i noticed this kid gets his twinkie stolen!

Firstly what a brilliant competition!
Well when I first watched ET as a kid i always wanted to know what the candy was that elliot was luring ET with and it was of course rieces pieces! Only after i saw that movie (15 years ago) i had to try the candy and ever since then ive been an addict!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfAzUAxWELU

Also, this is just a great clip (which is the first clip that popped into my head when you posted the competition, but you don’t sell them 🙁 ) (again from One Tree Hill)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00IillCLQ1k

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWxSBbBX4fs
This scene from scream has Jiffy pop in!
Note: I have watched the video and no swears, nudity or violence are in this clip, there is also no scary/jumpy bits in like in the rest of the movie.

The ‘Twinkies’ in this film are important because they end up making Adam Sandler’s character extremely obese and this leads to him having a heart attack which nearly kills him! (Pretty important storyline due to some delicious Twinkies).

Everytime I watch the film, I start to crave Twinkies but I have never been able to get them in England so hopefully I will be purchasing them from AmericanSoda soon!

Magic in the water 1995
Girl leaves oreos out, the Loch ness ate them XD some say it’s a long movie to advertise Oreos hehe
Yummmy Oreos, here is a picture of the girl lining them up on the dock.
Here are two pictures.
Mkes you go ‘wish I had some oreos right now’ I want some actually after looking at the pics XD

Ok off the top of my head the most obscure reference comes from an awesome American series called ‘Mystery Science Theatre 3000’ also known as MST3K. for those of you who haven’t the pleasure follow this link for a brief overview http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mystery_Science_Theater_3000. In episode 15 of the 6th series entitled ‘kitten with a whip’ about 5 minutes and 20 seconds in Dr. F tells Frank to bait a giant mousetrap with a ‘Nutrageous Bar’ follow this link to view the episode http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2–Z_LW8gs

Twinkies, Buffy the Vampire Slayer 2×04 “Inca Mummy Girl”!. Never quite made up my mind if I actually like them or not, and I’ve eaten enough of them that that is a frightening thought. “And the exciting part is that they have no ingredients that a human can pronounce. So it doesn’t leave you with that heavy… food feeling in your stomach.”

In this scene from twilight, Belle and Jacob are eating redvines. You can see the label of the tub at around 2 minutes 58 seconds. Appologies for the clip being in German but it’s the best quality I could find on youtube, although it’s much clearer on the dvd. 🙂

Hopefully this clip of Taxi Driver doesn’t contain any violence, swearing or nudity unlike most of the film. I bought Chuckles because Travis bought them to watch dirty movies. I won’t be doing the same when I eat mine.

In A Very Potter Sequel there’s a scene where Harry and Ron bond and become best friends through their mutual love for Red Vines, using lines such as “What’s your favourite sweet?” “REDVINES. What’s your favourite way to say red wine in a German accent?” “RED VINES.”. Red Vines then become a re-occuring thing within the musical. I checked your website to see what they were, I now absolutely adore them.

I love the tv show The Big Bang Theory and one thing I notice is: in the scenes in the canteen, the vending machine is filled with American goodies that I can’t get here in England. At Christmas I couldn’t stop myself any longer and put in an order for a few items. Most important in this order for me was the Flipz, I’d wanted some for months. They were certainly worth waiting for!

You have blown me out with your 2nd rule so I won’t link it but the scene with the shopkeeper in bad boys 1 is my fave . So put the gun down back up and pass me a packet of tropical fruit bubblicious And some skittles ! Quality scene .

There’s a great scene in my favourite American TV sitcom ‘Community’ on NBC.

You have to look behind the actress Gillian Jacobs playing Britta Perry dressed as Michael Jackson, there is a table with Milk Duds, Mike & Ike and Pop Drops which American Soda sell, I think I also see Big Red Gum boxes and boxes of Jujubes.

kirsty mckenna

grease.

” anyone want a twinkie?” ” oww twinkies and winso classy”
” it says right here its a desert wine”
in the bedroon sleep over
never herd of twinkies befor and really wanted to try one so i googled it
and found your website and orderd a box and now im hooked!

How about Sheldon drinking Kool-aid through a Red Vine on the Big Bang Theory (Season 5 Episode 19)? Two of your delicious products in one scene. There isn’t a clip on Youtube but there is a discussion thread on TV.com that mentions it.

I once got a craving for Milk Duds, after them being indirectly mentioned in Warehouse 13, Season 2 Episode 7.

Pete: You, sir, have been growing back your appendix in an attempt to get Vanessa to visit the warehouse! That’s so romantic.
Artie: Are you quite finished?
Pete: If only…
Artie: So, “no,” then.
Pete: …there were some way for you to… interact with Vanessa that did not involve invasive surgery. Perhaps some kind of… I don’t know, social ritual. One involving the sharing of food or the enjoying of filmed entertainment with maybe some ***duds that have been milked***. Ahh. I mean a date.
Artie: I know what you mean.

Hostess Twinkies and snowballs in Zombieland. I can’t remember if there was any swearing but Woody Harrelson’s character stops to inspect a rolled over truck to see if it has twinkies but unfortunately for him it contains only snowballs. I do think his character starts swearing then…

it will start about 6.40 in to the clip I got them with my first order Apple Jacks.

I made a mistake on the first one I sent in sorry

Stacey Ingram

Baby Ruth shown on Hell Boy multiple times.

Cameron

This is kind or pointless, I can think of loade but I can only post one and I’m positive evwry one I post will be posted a billion times….

But instead of beint obvious i’m going to find something so random and stupid to avoid all the die hard posts.

Callum Edgar

I first heard of the 3 musketerr bar from a commercial I saw years ago that was on a show about American tv shows and candy endorsing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yhlfy5Gc2nM That is the video of it, its from an old show called “Howdy Doody” As you will see from the video, this is years old

the show is an american show on good food channel and it is great chefs who have to make desserts to wina prize at the end, one task was to make something and i seen that one chef made an ice cream bar made with cap’n crunch and fruity pebbles cereal. the youtube link is http://youtu.be/ZtuRv7MLrnM and skip to 29:48 and you will see the finished product, if you go before and after you will see him make it and will see what the judged thought of it.. thanks
i thought this was a good one as the chefs had to make stuff to win 100s of thousands of pounds and he decided to use american cereal that i love and frequnetly buy of yourself.

“In the 1988 comedy film Beetlejuice, the titular protagonist uses a Zagnut bar to lure a fly to him.”

I looked it up on americansoda.co.uk to see firstly, what the hell it was, and if I could get me some! Unfortunately, out of stock!

Alex

This is something everyone has probably seen but maybe not noticed before, couple days ago whilst watching Friends spotted one of the big boxes of Red Vines just tucked away.

I’m not 100% sure on the episode but i think its series 10 episode 9 The One With The Birth Mother, Monica and Chandler go to meet Erica at the adoption services. Whilst they sit down and have there interview just off to the right hand side (behind Monica & Chandler) sticking out behind a plant pot is the box and the distinct label.

In the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode Inca Mummy Girl, Xander Harris can be seen eating a Twinkie cake bar whilst trying to impress what he thinks is a foreign exchange student but is actually a 500 year old mummy. This is how I actually found out about American Soda, I saw the Twinkies on my fave show, went online to look for some and your site was one of the ones that popped up!

In the film E.T. one of the boys lures E.T. into the house using a large bag of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, as you can see in the video I’ve linked the bag is only on screen for a brief moment, but the candy itself could never be mistaken!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQt7S9bhFi0
great if somewhat cheesy as heck movie the chase but youv gotta love the sheen meister
and if the butterfinger is good enough for kristy swansons back its good enough for me
🙂

Hello.
This a scene from the movie Forrest Gump.
Forrest is going to meet the president JFK, but before he eats something and drinks 15 DR. PEPPERS! Guess what happened when he was introduced to the president?
Very, very, funny! 😀

I humbly submit to you my favourite and perhaps most disturbing use of the twinkie in films (that I can think of); I give you the Twinkie Hotdog sandwich. I stuck to the Twinkie cause they are by far my favourite.(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-_FO9p8Xdg)

The Scene is from the 1989 film UHF starring “Weird Al” Yankovic.

I was going to submit Futurama and the frequent reference to Charleston Chew, but this is neither obscure nor are there any videos to support this.

Pedro

This scene is from the movie Zombieland.
The bad ass Tallahassee – Woody Harrelson – finds a Hostess cakes truck and convinces Columbus – Jesse Eisenberg – to come with him and check the inside. Tallahassee thinks it is filled with Twinkies….
Is he right?

Am I allowed to post more than one entry??
I can think of several examples of movies with American Soda products in them….

This one here is from Mr Bean- the movie (the one in which he ruins the picture of Whistlers Mother)
This clip sees him dipping into a bowl of M+Ms before throwing one high into the air and catching it in his mouth- lolhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhuOfU9Sseg

And now the really obscure, scene from “Children of the living dead” (a film so bad a review on IMDB says it should be shown in school as how not to make a movie!) look next to his shoulder, that vending machine has Barqs root beer in it!..

Here’s the “junk food frenzy” scene in the movie ELF. All of this delicious food is sold on American Soda! Pop Tarts are the food that I love and that I have bought from American Soda–many boxes of Pop Tarts (almost all flavors)!

Yum!!!

jordan gray

re-watching toy story as you do and when Sid is torturing buzz and woody, his mums shouts out ‘YOUR POP TARTS ARE READY’ and as i watched this, i searched and there american soda had fulfilled my pop tart wishes!

More pop tarts scenes. This one is in “Can’t Hardly Wait”. Yeah, I actually did see this. I just remembered it. After seeing this scene, I (the victim of advertising) actually went to a 7-11 and bought a box of these pop tarts! My mouth is watering righ now.

Ok not from a movie but a very famous internet musical. Staring Glee’s Darren Criss and the reason i fell in love with Red Vines! This is from the second of the 2 Harry Potter Musicals and it’s laced with Red Vines throughout!

Stuart

In Clueless Cher mentions feeling like a heifer and lists what she ate including “5 peanut butter M&Ms”

Ever since Quark extolled the virtues of root beer (“so bubbly and cloying”) to Garak on Star Trek Deep Space 9, I desperately wanted to try it. Years later, thanks to American Soda, I have. And I’m hooked. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hdiuRMK3UQ

Friends : The one with Joeys fridge
Monica : Chandler ,do you think we talk about our relationship enough
Chandler : yeah , do we have any fruit roll-ups?

Lian Smith

I can’t find the exact clip on youtube, but episode 1 of Sex and the City Series 5- “Anchors Away”. Carrie goes to the movies on date night, shock horror, ALONE, and with a box of Whoppers to herself!What a woman!! So much better than malteasers and I craved them immediately as they appeared on the screen!

Natalie Graham

Friends :the one with Monica’s cousin

Joey is auditioning for a part

The Casting Director: Terrific! Well uh, there’s one more thing. Uhh, uh it’s really important to the director that everything in this movie is authentic. Yeah and so in your love scene with Sarah she talks about how she’s never seen a naked man who wasn’t Jewish. So… (Laughs.)

Joey: So…What?

The Casting Director: So uh well the director is insisting that whoever play that part be authentically, anatomically not Jewish. Do you know what I’m saying?

Monica tries to fashion joey something to make him look Jewish

Monica: What are you trying on now?

Joey: The fruit roll up.

Monica: And?

Joey: Delicious.

David Arent

The awesome opening scene in hellboy when he pulls out his babbyruth.
And the amazing twinkies in zombieland when I found them on my website I was amazed and made me want to buy them so much!

The episode is similar to groundhog day, two of the protagonists (including Colonel O’Neill, played by Richard Dean Anderson) get stuck in a time loop. It starts when they struggle with someone who is activating some kind of ancient artefact, and the next thing he knows… Colonel O’neill is eating fruit loops. See here: http://i.imgur.com/pUFB7.jpg

Each time the day resets, he finds himself eating the same bowl of fruit loops. This goes on for what feels like weeks.

never mind the twinkies in ghostbusters, what about the twinkies in die hard, 1 and 2! plus in die hard 1 right at the beginning one of the bad guys (who is supposed to be on lookout in the nakatomi building) pinches a nestle crunch bar from his lookout post, as they say “for the kid in you” awesome!

Claire Durrant

All the way through this clip of friends where Chandler and Monica are at the adoption agency, you can see a huge tub of red vines. They are on the cupboard/sideboard behind erica in the first half and then more visable towards the end of the clip when Chandler and Monica sit in the same place…..

im the film friday when they are in the house , one of the guys tells the other to get the koolaid out of the fridge

Neil Goodall

For me, it has to be the episode of Seinfeld where Jerry and Kramer are in hospital, watching an operation from the gallery. What does Kramer break out? A box of Junior Mints! Where does a Junior Mint end up? In some poor guy’s body! But after the operation, the patient develops an infection and things look serious, but the infection miraculously clears up, all thanks to the Junior Mint!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhbMqjnYNfI

1. Vanilla Coke in Pulp Fiction – Vincent orders it in Jack Rabbit Slims. This was the first time I ever even HEARD of Vanilla Coke… I knew immediately I had to try it. I was not disappointed. There is NO better drink with a steak!
2. I’m not sure if you guys sell Pez, but the ‘Elvis Pezley’ scene in a great movie called The Client is awesome. There never was a real-life Elvis Pez until this movie came out, I believe… Inspirational!
3. I know, there’s plenty of candy in Seinfeld…. My favourite is in the episode where the craze for eating candy bars with a knife and fork begins – when Jerry spots someone doing it with more and more obscure bars, I laugh every time. The way he says ‘that guy’s got an ALMOND JOY!’ Classic.
4. Back to the Future – Marty keeps trying to order a TAB, back in the 50s… Again, this was the first time I ever heard of TAB. Ah, good ol’ days.
5. I used to LOVE those old Simpsons Butterfinger adverts…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJv9Xa0kUaM
6. There is an episode of the US show Damages called ‘Hey, Mr Pibb!’ In it, a character sees a Mr Pibb vending machine. Mr Pibb is delicious, so the mention was well deserved.
7. I GOTTA mention Zombieland. When they find that abandoned Hostess truck full of Sno balls…. MAN that makes me hungry. Woody Harrelson may not be a fan, but I love Sno balls. A lot.
8. The Milk Duds in Big Bang Theory! The most apologetic of all the boxed candies! They ARE a great way to make friends.
9. I remember an episode of Sabrina The Teenage Witch with a Halloween party… The title? ‘A River of Candy Corn Runs Through It.’ Fantastic.
10. Oh, and Beetlejuice always made me want to try Minute Maid.

I should probably stop there… I’m meant to be working! Man, this is fun…

There are clips of the opening sequence of the first scream movie where Casey is popping popcorn on the stove before ghost face calls but obviously there’s a bit of swearing in the scene so I won’t put it up but I’m sure everyone knows the scene im talking about.
It might have been mentioned already but it’s worth a try :p

Adventures in babysitting – the young girl sarah who is obsessed with Thor is eating Cap’n Crunch at the beginning of the film

Elena Herget

The most obvious…Reeses Pieces in E.T.

Elena Herget

How about Jiffy Pop in the movie Scream.

Elena Herget

Jiffy Pop was also in the 1985 film Real Genius. Pixie Stix (not carried by American Soda) and Cap’n Crunch were in the lunch of Allie Sheedy’s character Allison in Breakfast Club. Last one I can think of is Elf with Will Farrell, a breakfast table scene features Hershey’s Syrup and Pop Tarts as well as Smarties.

In the 1980’s comedy Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead both Trix cereal and Captain Crunch make an appearance. Trix cereal appears very near the beginning of the film around 4/5 minutes in. The Captain Crunch is midway through the film when the Sue Ellen makes breakfast for the children before work.

Hi erm my video is zombie land snowballs in search for twinkies lol
